When the purpose of use is changed, the Company will notify users or publicly announce the updated purpose through a method prescribed by the Company.

Article 5 (Provision of Personal Information to Third Parties)
The Company will not provide personal information to third parties without prior user consent, except in the following cases or when permitted by law:
When necessary to protect a person’s life, body, or property, and obtaining consent is difficult
When particularly necessary to improve public health or promote the healthy development of children, and obtaining consent is difficult

When the following items have been announced in advance and the Company has notified the Personal Information Protection Commission:
The purpose includes provision to third parties
The items of personal data provided to third parties
The method of provision
That the Company will stop providing personal information to third parties upon the individual’s request

Exceptions — Not considered third-party provision:
When the Company outsources all or part of personal information handling within the scope necessary to achieve the purpose of use
When personal information is provided due to business succession through merger or other reasons
When personal information is jointly used with specific parties, provided that the items of personal information, scope of joint users, purpose of use, and the responsible party for managing the information are notified or made easily accessible to the individual

Article 6 (Disclosure of Personal Information)
When the individual requests disclosure of personal information, the Company will disclose it promptly.
However, the Company may decline to disclose all or part of the information if:
Disclosure may harm the life, body, property, or other rights or interests of the individual or a third party
Disclosure may significantly hinder the proper execution of the Company’s business
Disclosure violates other laws or regulations
A handling fee of 1,000 yen per request will be charged for disclosure.
Information such as history data and characteristic information that does not constitute personal information will generally not be disclosed.

Article 7 (Correction and Deletion of Personal Information)
If a user believes their personal information held by the Company is incorrect, they may request correction, addition, or deletion (“Correction, etc.”) through the procedure prescribed by the Company.
If the Company determines that such a request is necessary, it will make the correction without delay and notify the user of whether the correction was made.

Article 8 (Suspension of Use of Personal Information)
If the individual requests suspension of use or deletion (“Suspension, etc.”) on the grounds that their personal information is being handled beyond the intended scope or was obtained through fraudulent means, the Company will conduct a necessary investigation without delay.
Based on the results, if the Company determines the request is valid, it will promptly suspend use, delete the data, or take alternative measures that protect the user’s rights and interests if suspension is difficult due to significant cost or practical difficulty.
The Company will notify the user of the result regardless of whether the suspension is carried out.

Article 9 (Changes to the Privacy Policy)
Except where laws or specific provisions of this Policy require otherwise, the Company may change this Policy without notifying users.
Unless otherwise specified, the revised Privacy Policy becomes effective once posted on the website.
